(Excuse me while I and the new C/I staff go into hiding.)
To help eliminate future C/I app backlog, we have restructured the category to allow for more staff help. Nikki will be the primary applications staffer, assisted by Alison, Kylara and Mella. More staff can be added as need arises. Each staffer will take one portion of applications (much the way our previous backlogs have worked) and process them, stating each time what part of the alphabet and time period they cover. Nikki will be the main "in-box" and will sort and distribute applications to the other three, as well as processing a portion of her own. Staffers will be required to update no LESS than twice a month, and weekly updates will be encouraged.
As this is the first time the application form has been open in nearly two months, the C/I staff will wait one week before processing forms, to give everyone a chance to jump in. ^_^
